New 1986 hardcover - Signed by Norman Bergrun with full
color photos & illustrations.
From photographs taken during the Voyager 1 flight to SATURN in 1980 the
reader of this remarkable book sees that one of the photgraphs shows
that the A-ring is incomplete.The author sets out to explain this
phenomenon in an understandable form. The famous Cassini and Enke gaps
also fit into the author's explanation. The micro photography employed
by the Author answers many of the questions about Saturn asked since
Galileo and the Author further shows a relation to the well defined
crater on the earth's moon called 'Mare Orientale' and to the 1908
Tunguska catastrophe in the U.S.S.R.
